They don't have a hit quiz, Channel 4, which is crazy; every channel has a hit quiz. Hit quizzes are sort-of actually quite easy to do because people love quizzes. You get a great format, you get a host that people like, boom you're done. BBC 2's biggest shows are ''[[Series/RichardOsmansHouseOfGames House of Games]]'', ''Series/OnlyConnect'' and ''Series/UniversityChallenge''.
